The position entails a compulsory work load of 25% that consists of teaching and supervision duties, and research assistance. Starting date no later than 01.10.2019
The PhD project aims to derive improved evapotranspiration estimates for northern environments closing critical knowledge gaps, and will revisit paradigms and parameterisation schemes for estimating ET suitable for high latitude regions, separately accounting for interception and transpiration. It will further assess the sensitivity in ET estimates to climate and surface conditions using land surface and hydrological models as well as targeted experiments. Model platforms used within the group include, but are not limited to, the land surface model CLM, and the hydrological model Shyft; models that are used to develop and test parameterizations for a variety of processes. The candidate will interact with model developers within LATICE and contribute to model testing and improvements with a special focus on the parametrization of evapotranspiration.
The successful candidate will work in the LATICE (“Land-ATmosphere Interactions in Cold Environments”) research group with scientists with expertise within various disciplines related to observing, analyzing and parameterization of the land surface. The PhD candidate will be part of a motivated research team with a high number of early career scientists working together in a highly interdisciplinary environment.
